The 23-year-old winger played 83 minutes for the Republic of Ireland in their 2-0 friendly win over Poland in Dublin on Wednesday, as Ciaran Clark and Wes Hoolahan both netted their first-ever international goals to secure the victory.

“James has a problem. He played about 80 minutes for the Republic of Ireland and got a knock on his ankle in the first half, but played on," O'Neill told reporters.

“It’s blown up somewhat, so at the moment the physios are dealing with him. We’ll see how he is, but it might be a problem.”

Despite having not started the last three games for Sunderland, McLean has featured in all but two of the club's 25 games in the league so far this season, contributing two goals and one assist in the process.
